What if I don't have a cyclocross bike'? One of the best things about cyclocross is that you can participate using a variety of different kinds of bikes -- you don't need one that is expressly designed for cross racing. Stop by or give us a ring if you're wondering whether or not your bike is 'cross appropriate. If not, we're offering 10% all 'cross bikes we sell for club members AND we'll have Liv Brava SLR cyclocross bikes available for rental.
What if I'm not in good enough shape? Turns out that riding bikes is a great way to get in better shape! Also, there are no fitness tests for joining this club. All are welcome.
Do I have to commit to racing the entire season? Nope. This is about giving cyclocross a try, not committing your soul to it. After our first race together, some will likely continue racing more, some might just continue cheering for them and choose not to race again. It's entirely up to you.
How do I sign up? Space is limited to 20 participants and you can register here. After you sign up, we'll be in touch soon after.
